About The Car
Mahadevan and his uncle Kumar are still struggling to find money after the deaths of Mahadevan's parents and Kumar's sister. One day, luck comes to them when Mahadevan wins a car as the 1st prize of a promotional contest held by a washing-powder brand. The new car brings him a lot of bad luck.
Directed by Rajasenan, The Car leans on a strong ensemble — Jayaram, Janardhanan, Sreelakshmi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1997.
